In the spirit of Eid Celebration, a remarkable act of kindness unfolded in the IFO local government area of Ogun State, Nigeria. On Friday, the 28th of March, 2025, Mr. Sudeep Ramnani and Mr. Jai Mahtani, international businessmen and foreign investors in the Nigerian market, partnered with Pukka Logistics and Support Services Ltd to bring much-needed food items to the community.

This outreach, led by Beulah Akingbelu-Banjo, the Managing Director of Pukka Logistics and Support Services Ltd, is part of a larger mission to alleviate hunger and food poverty across Nigeria. According to Beulah, the outreach had already reached thousands of Nigerians across several local government areas to date, and the mission is to reach out to the 774 local government areas in Nigeria, one local government at a time.

The response from the community was overwhelming. The Executive Chairman of the local government, Hon. Olalekan Idris Kusimo, expressed profound gratitude on behalf of his constituents for the kind thoughts of the organizers. He noted that the local government was open to receiving more of such kind gestures in the future.

This selfless act not only brought sustenance to those in need but also renewed hope and faith in the community. The joint effort with the Nigerian government highlights the power of collaboration and kindness in making a meaningful difference in people’s lives.
